I'm shrinking?

don't worry about it, the measurement of your height varies, because nothing can measure the exact height. your doctor's measurement may be close to your real height, but it may not be as accurate. samething with weight, when i step on my doctor's scale i weigh 120 pounds, but on the scale at home i weigh 123. of course body shrinking does happen, but not until you get to your 40's or 50's. that's when your cartilage starts to degrade.

Same thing happened to me I have been 5 feet since I stopped growing and then I recently was measured at the doctor and I am 4'11 and 3/4 or something :P I am only 25 so I just assume that before I was just measured wrong because this time I made the nurse measure twice.

Everyone does a bit as they age. Funny thing is, you usually go up a shoe size, about 1/2 size every 3 to 5 years, generally 2 sizes before it stops.

A person's height actually varies. One might measure heigher in the morning then in the evening. Maybe when you were originally measured was at a different time of the day.

I am guessing your appointment was late in the day. Measure yourself first thing in the morning, you will like he results. Our spines are relaxed (assuming a good matterss) and stiffen and compress as the day goes by...

Yeah unfortunately it's something quite natural...you should start buying those long lasting light bulbs =)

Short and petite can be very sexy girl. It is pretty normal to drop a little bit, its pretty normal for everyone to have a few things they wish they could change. Just be happy with yourself and surround yourself with people that love and respect all of your qualities.

I would check again somewhere else, then make sure that the doctor's scale is calibrated.

As we age, our spines compress and we lose height. I don't know if this explanation applies to you or not because you didn't give your age. But it's a fact.

Time and gravity always win.
